Below is the free agent tracker; it’ll be updated often. I’ve listed the minor league free agents in yellow. Everything is sorted by former team at this point; eventually I’ll change it to new team, once we’ve gotten a significant amount of signings.
There are also tabs for trades, waivers, arbitration; I’ll add other transaction tabs once they happen.
